Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Thank you for finding my photography and films. I am a wedding photographer and videographer who loves to document the fun and romance of wedding days in an elegant and relaxed style. I believe that the most beautiful and meaningful wedding photography need not be complicated.

Natural Wedding Photography
& Videography

I photograph and film weddings across the UK and worldwide. Nearly half of the weddings I cover are overseas, so feel free to contact me wherever your wedding is being held.

Previous clients include top universities, literary festivals, and award-winning actors. Photographing people is what I love most of all, and my work was recently shortlisted in a National Portrait Gallery competition.

Creative, Personal Wedding Films

My wedding films mix beautiful cinematography with a relaxed, intimate feel. It’s not my intention to make your wedding look like a Hollywood movie – instead I am inspired to create a film that’s personal, creative, soulful and unique to you as a couple.

I approach each wedding with a careful eye for detail and a dedication to creating a film that reflects your story and personalities. I work discreetly, capturing candid moments and without interrupting the flow of the day.

Wedding Photography For Relaxed, Stylish Pictures

I am inspired by natural light, the rich colours of analogue film, and the classic look of black and white photography. My style marries a natural documentary approach with beautiful compositions and colours.

Sometimes people ask what it’s like being photographed by me on their wedding day. Imagine you’ve handed a camera to a friend on holiday and asked them to take your picture – that’s what I aim for – simple, fun and uncomplicated. Anything else just gets in the way.

About Me

The first good photograph I took was of Bob Dylan. It was with a simple 35mm film camera at a music festival many years ago. The picture was just a snapshot, but it captured the spirit of the day – which is what it’s all about.

Photography and music have always been linked for me as I spent many years photographing concerts and musicians for a newspaper. All through this time I was learning how to use a camera and how to photograph people and it was a wonderful way to learn.

Today I’m a wedding photographer and videographer and could not be happier. It would be a pleasure to join you on your wedding adventure and to document your celebrations.

London Weddings

I am based under an hour from London and love documenting weddings in the capital. I work as both a London wedding photographer and London wedding videographer. I have covered wonderful weddings at venues such as The Dorchester Hotel, Kew Gardens and The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.

Many Styles and Traditions

In recent years I have had the pleasure of documenting many different styles and traditions of wedding ceremonies and celebrations. Some of these include Jewish weddings, Nikah ceremonies and styled pre-wedding photoshoots.
